.hash #

Contains hashing related functionality such as password hashing, and two iterations of a sha256.

Athena.utility.hash.sha256 #

A simple sha256 function that takes data in a string format and returns a sha256. It will be the same hash as long as the data originally used in the function is the same data. Do not use this for passwords.

const result = Athena.utility.hash.sha256('hello world');

Athena.utility.hash.sha256Random #

Same as above, but the hash will always be random but not unique. Good for quick temporary random hash strings.

const result = Athena.utility.hash.sha256Random('hello world');

Athena.utility.hash.hashPassword #

Used to take a plain text password and hash it with pbkdf2 and a salt. Safe to password storage.

const hashedPassword = Athena.utility.hash.hashPassword('mypasswordhere');

Athena.utility.hash.testPassword #

A password can be compared by getting the original hash and comparing it against the plain-text provided from the user.

const originalPassword = 'mypasswordhere';
const isValid = Athena.utility.hash.testPassword(originalPassword, hashedPassword);
